This Crazy Delicious ‘Gimme More’ Minestrone Soup is fit for a Goddess and thinfully delicious.

The idea? Be creative and use what you have in your kitchen for dinner.

I looked through my fridge and realized I had nearly all the fixings for a creative minestrone soup (i.e. minestrone soup… my way). I threw this soup together, chopping included, in under 30 minutes. Delicious & nutritious food doesn’t have to take a long time and you don’t need to make that extra trip to the grocery store for missing ingredients. Learn to work with what you have!

When you do go grocery shopping… remember this: VEGGIES, VEGGIES, VEGGIES! Your body will thank you.

Hopefully this video will help inspire you in the kitchen:

The “Indiana Jones” of international finance.
-Forbes

Interested in how the global economy works?

Riches Among the Ruins: Adventures in the Dark Corners of the Global Economy gives a first-hand account of a real life “Indiana Jones” investing into the markets of the developing world.

Aspiring for a life beyond that of his successfully middle class Jewish parents, Robert P. Smith joins USAID right out of college to learn more about the world in which he lives. His first assignments take him to Vietnam during the war and then to Brazil, where he gets his first glimpse into the intricacies of emerging-market lending.

Returning to Boston, Smith is convinced there’s still more to life than settling into a cushy job in his father’s law firm so he embarks on a new career as an international debt trader. From dangers and blasts in 1980s El Salvador to risking his life after the recent war in Iraq, Smith will seemingly go to any length in search of a fortune.

While I’m not suggusting you go Robert P. Smith-Indiana Jones on us- please don’t- this is nevertheless, an interesting real life action novel with fascinating insight into developing markets around the world.

Entrepreneur Goddess Summary: Riches Among the Ruins by Robert P. Smith is a page-turning, just-for-fun business read.

Las Vegas, Nevada: The perfect business destination.

Say what?

You read right! Las Vegas provides both the perfect office and playground for a business trip. The city has millions of square feet for any trade show, expo, or meeting and the excellent entertainment for every taste.

Whether you or your clients like to gamble, relax by the pool, enjoy a cocktail in Venice or Paris, dance the night away, or take in one of the numerous shows…there’s something for everyone.

Last weekend, I went on a business trip to Blog World & New Media Expo in Las Vegas and while I didn’t have tons of energy to play, I did find the time to take in a Cirque du Soleil* show and saw LOVE:

• LOVE was my third Cirque du Soleil show and I’ve loved every single show! (Let me know if you’ve ever run into anyone who saw one of their shows and didn’t like it- I haven’t met anyone yet!)
• LOVE is a bit different from the other Cirque du Soleil shows I’ve seen like La Nuba. Expect amazing choreography and stunts with a modern twist. Think: Cirque du Soleil meets Stomp at times.
• If you love The Beatles, you’ll love the amazing remixes of their popular songs! If you can’t stand the music, choose another Cirque show.
• This is the Cirque show to see for the politically and socially-minded. As most people know, The Beatles went from singing about peace, love, and strawberries to lyrics about revolutions and all the lonely people.  You’ll have to see LOVE to find how they managed to incorporate all these themes into the show!

If you’re thinking about buying The Beatles LOVE album, click on the affiliate link below and I might just make enough money to buy a cup of coffee (which will help me write my next blog post)!

*Thanks to @CirqueduSoleil for providing these free tickets to review the show!
